How to: Set up no-ip address for Minecraft & More

Want to host a server, but don't want people to have to find your IP address every time you want someone to join? Want a friendlier domain name instead? Well, using No-IP you can set up a DNS address for your servers. It automatically updates and more. Assuming people can connect already, you can easily get a custom domain for your server, for free.

FINALLY A TUTORIAL THAT AKNOWLEDGES CHANGING IPS!!! life saver!

[SirDubstep]

actual life saver, been looking for hours on a way to bind my server webfront to a url

[TheRemo]

Very nice, to the point and well made. I'm glad I stumbled on this channel, it's very high quality content

[legendaryswordsman]

This was exactly what I was looking for, thanks once again for putting in the effort of making such a straight forward video

[Goldfishiess]

What do I do when the port check tool says that it has a problem

[bilboswaggnz]

This was super easy. I was honestly shocked when I installed the program and it just worked... Great tutorial!

[multi_Baby]

I SPENT HALF A YEAR LOOKING FOR THIS
THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE

[Ziris]

VERY WELL said. I've tried so many other videos but only yours worked. Thank you much!

[Rvvni]

By the way, your IP address can still be found by using the custom server name. This is not a fully safe way. This is why massive servers pay a lot against ddos against. Use this with people you trust and know

[Ouch]

Despite, following this video and doing the portforward seemingly correctly, my port still cannot be found (I have turned my firewall off) any help?

[clipso]

Made that look super simple will update with my progress

[potatolegacy]

your the saver in everything thx for existing and helping us out man

[murple]

damn, I really forgot to pay attention to a single second of this video, now I gotta watch it again...

[isoee]

It says connection timed out could not see your service so what should I do?

[orliklannoob]

what if Open port chek tool is showing problem?

[calebprawitz]

you can also connect to it if you put in localhost in ip (on the pc its launched from)

[RKT]

im not getting the green message on port check tool

[ToTeon]

what if the port check says that my port is not accessible

[laur.an]

I'm a bit late to the party but if I was to ping your DNS wouldn't I get your public adress? Just asking because that's what I'm trying to avoid

[Metryk]

Which IP address do I input at the creation of a hostname? I am planning on using my raspberry pi as a server with dyndns being done by my router and am quite lost right now
